Chapter 12: Victory
————
Outside Beiguan, 80,000 Jinting troops had already gathered under the city, and after Yang Qi drove the carriage out of the city, all the troops set off in formation, with great momentum. The corpses of yesterday's battlefield have almost been cleaned up, leaving only some wreckage and a bloodstain, telling of yesterday's battle here.
On the way to Jinting, I am afraid that I will encounter a lot of corpses. Therefore, Yang Qice ordered someone to prepare the carriage, firstly, to prevent Lin Yixiao from getting cold, and secondly, to prevent Lin Yixiao from seeing the human remains.
Since the month-long journey to Jinting, Lin Yixiao has relied on Yang Qice's arms almost all the time. Every night, Lin Yixiao curled up and leaned on Yang Qice's lap to sleep.
At first, Lin Yixiao slept peacefully every night, but later, because Yang Qice slept every night, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and wanted to let Yang Qice have a good rest, but she only got Yang Qice's cold eyes. Over time, although she was full of worry, she couldn't say anything, so every time she went to sleep, she would feel a little guilty in her heart, so she couldn't sleep peacefully.
——
When the defeated army of Beihu reached the Sichuan Ridge, Ashinake saw that the terrain here was precipitous, and it was a good place to set up an ambush. There are constant pursuers behind him, just enough to use this to repel the pursuers. Ashnak led the Beihu soldiers into the Sichuan Mountains, and just arrived at a mountain col, he wanted to set up an ambush here, but he never thought that the ghost dumb army had been waiting for a long time. The rolling stone came down from the mountain, directly hitting the Beihu soldiers, when Ashinake was surprised, he hurriedly organized the soldiers to flee in the direction of Jinting, did not dare to delay for a moment, and finally escaped from the Sichuan Ridge, with a loss of nearly 10,000, Ashinake couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly to Ashnake: "If it weren't for you, how could the Beihu army be defeated!" Your brother is a piece of rubb, and so are you! Rush for quick success, no one in sight! We should have evacuated to the Golden Court sooner! With the help of Jinting City, fight back! You're going to have to set up an ambush here! As a result, he was ambushed by the enemy! Loss of 10,000 soldiers in vain! ”
Eight days later, the snow had stopped for several days, and there were only more than 270,000 people left in the defeated army of Beihu, and finally arrived at Jinting City. After entering the city, seeing the hay all over the city, the Beihu soldiers did not notice anything unusual, and the Beihu soldiers who had been chased by Chen Yujue for more than a month were already exhausted and demoralized, and they no longer had any will to fight, and they only wanted to return to Beihu as soon as possible.
Ashnak and Ashstelie naturally didn't want to see this scene, so they immediately reorganized their troops, not finding that the Beihu soldiers left behind in Jinting City were nearly eighty percent less, and they turned a blind eye to the hay all over the ground.
Ashnak gathered his soldiers in the center of the city, while Ashdrik went to seek supplies from the leaders who remained behind in the Golden Court.
This time, Ashstelie found out that the Beihu soldiers had been transferred and directly became prisoners of the ghost mute army.
Subsequently, Chen Yujue also arrived outside Jinting City.
Chen Yujue entered the city alone and left the cavalry outside the city.
On the city tower, looking at Ashdeli, who was escorted to him by two ghost dumb soldiers, Chen Yujue waved his hand, signaled to let it go, and then said: "You know that our Great Zhou values peace and doesn't like war, I can let you go for the sake of Du Hu." However, we pay attention to 'courtesy and exchanges', and you Beihu killed the people of our Jinting, Huaibei and other places, should there also be an explanation? Of course, I also said that harmony is precious. We will not kill prisoners in Da Zhou, you only need to work with us for a few years, and then you can go home, by the way, you can also pay a ransom to redeem yourself. ”
"Heh, now there are 270,000 of my Beihu army in the city! You're not more than 10,000 at the moment, are you? How to fight against us? I advise you to let me go as soon as possible, and I can spare you. Otherwise, it's a big deal to die and the net is broken! ”
From the time when Chen Yujue asked the two soldiers to loosen the tie for himself, Asstelie decided in his heart that Chen Yujue did not dare to break the net with them at this time, and when he found that there were only hundreds of Beihu soldiers in the city, Astelie was puzzled, and mistakenly thought that the soldiers left here by the Great Khan were only hundreds, but later he found out that these people were all Great Zhou soldiers, but what if there were only hundreds of people? At this moment, Astelie was full of confidence and disdain in the face of Chen Yujue.
Hearing this, Chen Yujue laughed, and immediately asked the ghost dumb army to bring up the fierce fire oil, and said to Ashdead
"The city is full of hay, you know why, right? All your retreats have been blocked by us. ”
When the words stopped, Chen Yujue walked up to Ashsteret and continued to laugh
"Do you know why the Golden Court is called the strongest city? Not because of how strong the city is, but because of the soldiers who guard it, none of them are greedy for life and afraid of death. When you came in, we were ready to die together. I want to see, in the midst of this fierce fire, how do you open the gate of the Golden Court and escape? Or do you choose to jump off the city walls? ”
As the words fell, Astelie involuntarily took a step back, but still said with a hint of arrogance
"You don't dare!"
"We can try, but we only have one chance."
Chen Yujue looked at Astelie with a playful smile, waiting for his decision.
Astelie pondered for a moment, his tone still unchanged
"So what do you want!"
"You surrendered, and worked for the Great Zhou for three years, and then you were spared. Of course, if you make the soldiers give up their resistance, in return, I will just let you go, without ransom. By the way, as for the other tribal leaders, one person will be free to let them go. ”
"You're a lion's mouth!"
"Yes, but do you also want to work for Da Zhou for three years? Oh, and by the way, I can give it to other tribal leaders as well. ”
Thinking of the Great Khan and Ashinak, Ashdrew couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. I thought that if I went back to Beihu and Ashnak stayed in Dazhou, wouldn't Beihu become my bag sooner or later?
"Okay, I promise you. You'd better do it! ”
"Well, Da Zhou people, pay attention to courtesy, you helped me, I naturally have to give you benefits, right?"
Immediately, Chen Yujue said to the soldiers behind Ashstere
"Let him go."
——
"What! You actually want to surrender to Da Zhou? Ashridje !! Have you forgotten how we slaughtered the people of the Great Zhou! Don't let your soldiers take up arms yet! Our surrender is the real self-destruction! ”
"And how do you resist the fierce fire oil!? In that case, in the end, it is not a death, it is better to simply surrender, we still have a way to live. ”
The morale of the Beihu soldiers was completely lost, and after Ashsterew's complaint, almost half of them had already laid down their weapons and planned to surrender.
Seeing Ashtreet persuade his own people to lay down their weapons, Ashinak's anger rose and he shouted
"How can you be sure that they dare to set fire to the city! If they really burn down Jinting City, how can they resist us! ”
"I said, did you forget? We have only 270,000 left! The 800,000-strong army is almost all soldiers in Beihu! Now there are only 270,000 left! If these 270,000 soldiers die in Jinting City, the Great Zhou will no longer have to defend against us. Got it! They only have a few hundred people in the city, and if they abandon a city and hundreds of people, do you really think they can't do it! How did they abandon Huaibei in the first place??? ”
"You..."
Ashinake was speechless, and didn't know how to refute Ashstere, yes, the Great Zhou dared to abandon Huaibei, how could he be heartbroken for the lives of this city and hundreds of Great Zhou soldiers in the city. These hundreds of Great Zhou soldiers dared to take advantage of the Beihu army to attack Huaibei Beiguan to take back the Golden Court and wait for the rabbit here, doesn't it already mean that they are ready to die?
Seeing Ashnak's heart shaken, Ashinak continued
"There is a saying in Da Zhou, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood. Surrender! ”
Ashnak stopped his hand, looked at the sky, and smiled bitterly
"Yang Qice... Yang Duhu... You're so calculating. Hehehehehehe..."
When Ashinake thought that the protector of the Jin Ting was Yang Qice, he couldn't help but understand a little, from the time the Tang Dynasty changed the name of the country to Zhou, Yang Qice's achievements were already famous all over the world, twelve guards the Savior, and Hedong led four thousand militiamen to quell the rebellion of the King of Jin. When I learned that Yang Qice had been crowned for only a few years, I only thought that his rumors were just big words from the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I was even more sure that the Great Zhou court was corrupt, so he would establish such a figure to strengthen the country's prestige. And now, Ashinak is completely convinced, and he can't help laughing at his brother's opinion of Da Zhou.
——
All 270,000 soldiers surrendered, and the war was officially won.
After Chen Yujue surrendered to the Beihu soldiers, he was all killed in the pit without spending a single soldier.
As for Astere, Chen Yujue did let him go, but after leaving the city, he was shot and killed by the ghost dumb army.
The pit killing incident was not Chen Yujue's assertion, but Yang Qice's original arrangement.
As for the fierce fire oil, there is really such a plan, but it is just Yang Qice's last hole card, if the Beihu army really resists, perhaps, Chen Yujue and the ghost dumb army will really die with it.
Fortunately, people always want to live, don't they? And the opportunity is only once, who would have thought that Yang Qice would choose to kill in a pit after the Beihu soldiers surrendered. Therefore, before the same fate and a glimmer of life, almost everyone in the world will choose the latter.
